(GARLAND-March 10, 2013) Join the Garland Chamber of Commerce for its most strategic morning networking event featuring a fast-paced new format.
The Chamber’s Direct Connect program has been transformed into a SPEED NETWORKING event – and it will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Thursday, March 21 at Hyatt Place Dallas Garland, 5101 N. President George Bush Freeway.
Attendees are invited to “Network in a Flash” as they rotate around an inner circle of industry professionals from a pre-determined, business-focused theme. Attendees will be seated around the room directly across from a partner. When our emcee rings the bell, conversation will begin. A quick two minutes later, the bell will ring again and the outer row of participants will move one seat to the left. Get your elevator speech ready, prepare your questions in advance, and know what you want to accomplish — once we begin, there’s no time to waste!
Each professional invited to participate is considered an expert in his or her field and can contribute advice or resources revolving around themes such as marketing, manufacturing, financing, small business start-ups or many others. Each month hosts a new theme and a new group of industry leaders.
